Chapter 68: Easier Said Than Done

The construction team came to Xiamengou Village. The commander of the third battalion drew a company to help the construction team according to the instructions of the political commissar.

The commander of the third battalion was also only in the order of seven, eight, nine. On the first day, the commander of the third battalion was followed by Shen Yunjie's seventh company.

As I said before, these construction teams were ordinary workers, and these people in the construction team were very scared when they saw so many soldiers coming all of a sudden. They didn't know that Shen Yunjie was here to help at first.

The foreman first signaled everyone not to be afraid and not to mess up, and then walked over to the third battalion commander with a smile. The foreman took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket very familiarly, "Boss, you smoke." "I have to say that the foreman of this package is quite accurate in recognizing people, and it can be seen at a glance that the commander of the third battalion is the largest commander in this group.

Shen Yunjie, who was behind the third battalion commander, had a glow in his eyes, "Smoke?? Or is it a brand?? Hey, I really want to smoke it too. "From the inner monologue of an old smoker.

The commander of the third battalion pushed the cigarette away with one hand. The original meaning of the third battalion commander was that he did not smoke. The foreman mistakenly thought that the commander of the third battalion was disgusted that this "meeting gift" was too light.

The contractor quietly dragged the third battalion commander aside, and at first the third battalion commander looked confused.

I saw the foreman take out a bag of things from his other pocket, and this bag of things was bulging.

The third battalion commander looked at the contractor very curiously, "What is this??" ”

The foreman whispered, "Boss, this is a little welcome gift, and I will ask the boss to take care of it in the future." "The foreman of the contractor thought that the commander of the third battalion had come here with so many people for benefits.

The third battalion commander was even more confused, and the third battalion commander was also curious about what this thing was, so he opened a corner slightly, and saw that it was actually wrapped in a roll of money, and the third battalion commander immediately returned the money to the contractor, "I can't ask for this." ”

The foreman thought that his meeting gift was a little less, and the boss was not happy, and those insatiable people before were also this set of rhetoric at the beginning, saying that they couldn't ask for it, but in fact, they wanted to add money.

The foreman looked at the third battalion commander with pitiful eyes, "Boss, it's not easy for us to make money these days." You just raise your hand and accept these," in the eyes of the contractor, accepting the money means that the other party will not increase the price.

Only then did the third battalion commander completely figure it out: "It turns out that the other party thinks that I brought so many people here for the sake of benefit??" No, I'll have to explain it quickly. ”

Wang Benlei and Zhou Bin, who were not far behind him, muttered quietly.

"Zhou Bin, what do you say our battalion commander is talking to that person about??"

"I don't know"

It turned out that not only the commander of the third battalion was stunned, but many people around him were confused. The Eighth Route Army really didn't know much about the "sophistication" of people in this regard.

"Brother, you misunderstood, we didn't come to ask you for any benefits. We're just here to help you."

After the third battalion commander finished speaking, the foreman of this contract change looked confused, and the foreman pondered in his heart, "Which one is this singing??" New routines?? "The contractor has also contacted many people and done a lot of projects when he goes south and north, and he has never seen this person who does not take kickbacks and does not want benefits, let alone take the initiative to help.

Based on past experience, the contractor came to a conclusion: "Shouldn't they be in the back, I should have placed a set and waited for me to drill??" ”

The foreman immediately became vigilant, "Boss, we are all honest people, don't dig a pit and let us jump." If you take this money, we will appreciate your kindness. ”

The three battalion commanders are now big heads, why can't this be explained clearly, it's strange. "Brother, we're really not in it for money, I'm also convinced."

The two were still entangled not far away, and Shen Yunjie began to wonder where the two were talking about something? Why haven't you finished talking for a long time? Shen Yunjie slowly approached the third battalion commander, "Battalion commander, what's wrong??" What's wrong?? ”

The commander of the third battalion told Shen Yunjie about the contractor's misunderstanding of himself. Shen Yunjie also had a general understanding of the situation.

"This old man, you really misunderstood, we are really just here to help you, and we can't ask for that money," Shen Yunjie tried to explain to the contractor.

It's just that Shen Yunjie is also a blind man, lighting the lamp in vain, and the third battalion commander explained that it was useless for half a day, and Shen Yunjie explained that it was still useless for half a day. It can only be said that the atmosphere of the contract foreman is too heavy.

The situation is frozen all of a sudden, if this is not explained clearly, how can the next work be carried out?? Still helping??

The three of them stayed there for a long time, and now it was not only the confusion of the Seventh Company, but also the second monk on the other side, who was puzzled. Usually, the contractor can officially start work after giving people money, but today the contractor has been there.

Li Moran walked out of the team, "Company commander? What's wrong?? ”

The third battalion commander, who was very helpless, told Li Moran what happened again.

"I thought something was wrong. Leave this to me. Li Moran can be described as full of confidence.

The third battalion commander and Shen Yunjie both looked at Li Moran with very suspicious eyes.

Li Moran called the foreman to the distance alone. "This brother, to tell you the truth, the one who is responsible for finding you has already given us the benefits of leadership."

The foreman thought that the leader Li Moran said was the commander of the third battalion, so he pointed to the commander of the third battalion with his own finger.

Li Moran shook his head, "It's not the one in front of you, it's a higher-level leader." Not only did he give our leaders a lot of money, but they also specially instructed our leaders to take good care of you. Our leaders are also a little realistic, since they have received money from others, they should make a little effort, so that the money can be held steadily. It's not up to us to help. Actually, we're pretty much the same as you, but we're just some of the younger brothers. ”

Although the contractor is still skeptical, Li Moran's explanation is more in line with common sense than the "logic" he did.

"By the way, there is also this money, we can't ask for it, if we let Shangfeng know, we will not be able to eat and walk around. We are most taboo to open a small stove and eat alone. In fact, Li Moran was also forced to make this decision. Rather than getting out of the mud and not getting stained, everyone is more willing to believe that the world is as black as a crow.

"The people have the people's way, and the officials have the official way. Since people are taboo about this, then I have no choice but to give up," the contractor agreed.

The contractor walked in front of the construction team, "Brothers, let's start work, start work"

The look in his eyes that was still skeptical just now has now become incredible, and Shen Yunjie and the third battalion commander now only have the same question in their minds, "What did Li Moran say to the other party??" Why can't the two of us explain it clearly?? ”

But it's finally time to start work.

The foreman took out the drawings that he had already designed from his tool kit, and the drawings had been drawn in great detail. How much longer and how wide is the hospital. How big the yard is. How big is the house and how many rooms are there in total. The shape of each room. How many layers are there in total.

According to the drawings in hand, the contractor first asked everyone to measure the distance, and then drew the general outline of the hospital.

This person was busy there, and it was not suitable for him to stand by and look at it, so the third battalion walked up to the contractor, "Brother, you see what we can do for you"

The foreman originally thought that these people from the Eighth Route Army were just here to make a show, but the third battalion commander was stunned for a moment when he said this. "Boss, you and your brothers can rest next to you, and we'll do the work."

"This, this, that. If our regiment commander and political commissar know about this, they won't scold me to death."

"Boss, don't worry, you can rest here steadily, I definitely won't tell anyone."

"Brother, you misunderstood, we really want to help." The commander of the third battalion was a little anxious.

The contractor foreman couldn't resist the third battalion commander, "Okay, okay, but I don't need so many people now, and I'll call the boss when I need people later, do you think it's okay??" ”

The third battalion commander had no choice but to nod.

The outline is drawn and the next step is to lay the foundation, which is not idle.

The foreman of the contractor called the commander of the third battalion and a small worker under him.

"Boss, after a while, your people will follow the dogs, and the dogs will teach them what to do," the foreman said, pointing to the man next to him, to the third battalion commander.

The third battalion commander nodded.

And the man named Dog looked embarrassed, "Head, this is not good??? This ,,, me. ”

The foreman pulled the dog aside and whispered, "You are stupid, when the time comes, you can arrange some more leisurely work for them, and let these soldiers pretend." ”

"Okay, I see."

The foreman sent the Eighth Route Army to the dogs.

Woo Long suddenly the seven companies and more than forty people all followed behind the dog, yes, it is indeed more than forty people since they helped the Kuomintang withdraw from Taiyuan, the seventh company has not been replenished until one person and one soldier. However, the commissar said that it would be added soon.

Seeing so many soldiers following him, the dog was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't even dare to gasp for breath normally.

"That, this, that, we'll dig up a lot of dirt in a while, and you can just pull the dirt over there in a little cart." As he spoke, the dog walked over to the place where the soil was piled up and signaled to everyone where the soil was piled up.

The first step in laying the foundation is to dig a pit.

"By the way, all the military masters will work in a while, you must not lose the white line we just drawn." The dog says whatever comes to mind. The white lines are drawn with white lime.

With this general outline, these little workers also knew where to dig.

The Eighth Route Army is what the dog says, what they remember, and Shen Yunjie and they nodded once after the dog said a word.

The surface of the soil here is indeed very hard, and these small workers are very difficult to dig, but there is no way that they themselves rely on these meals to live.

The problem soon arose, there were only three small carts for so many people, and the speed of the small workers was very slow, so everyone could only wait on the sidelines.

If you want to do something else, Shen Yunjie doesn't understand. If you don't get it right, it's likely to be unhelpful. There was no way, it could only be forty people, watching three people do it, and then changing people back and forth.

To tell the truth, the construction team was originally a radish and a pit, and this work was still squeezed out by others.

Shen Yunjie couldn't stay idle, "Dog, why don't I dig it for you?" ”

"Master Jun, this is not suitable, is it??"

"Really, what's appropriate." Shen Yunjie said and snatched the pickaxe from the dog's hand. This hard soil can only be dug with a pickaxe or shovel.

Shen Yunjie first took a sip with his left hand, then took a sip with his right hand, and then used all his strength to pick up the pickaxe and hit the ground, Shen Yunjie's pickaxe had no effect at all. Although Shen Yunjie has brute strength, he has never done similar work, and he will only use some brute force instead of borrowing skillful strength.

Shen Yunjie looked back at the dog awkwardly.

The dog snatched the pickaxe in Shen Yunjie's hand, "Master Jun, let's do it with me." ”
